On World Mental Health Day, Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut while urging her fans on social media to watch her film ‘Judgementall Hai Kya’, took a dig at fellow actor Deepika Padukone, accusing her indirectly of trying to stifle her film and alleging that the movie was dragged to court by ‘those who run depression ki dukan’.
On Saturday, as people across the globe observed this day and took the opportunity to spread awareness about stigmas around mental illnesses, Kangana, while stating that her film is a good watch, wrote on Twitter, “The film that we made for Mental Health awareness was dragged to the court by those who run depression ki dukan, after media ban, name of the film was changed just before the release causing marketing complications but it’s a good film, do watch it today #WorldMentalHealthDay (sic).”

Deepika’s The Live Love Laugh Foundation, back then, while commenting on ‘Mental Hai Kya’, had in a series of tweets stated, “It is time we put an end to the use of words, imagery and/or the portrayal of persons with mental illness in a way that reinforces stereotypes. Many millions who suffer from mental illness in India already face tremendous stigma. Therefore, it is extremely important to be responsible and sensitive to the needs of those suffering.”
Earlier, Kangana had used the same phrase ‘depression ki dukaan’ and another ‘depression ka dhanda’ when she had accused Deepika Padukone of running a business while advocating about mental illnesses.
